Lian

Chapter 49 - Cold Rocks Hold

Lian — aliases: Roofmistress of Cold Rocks Hold, wife of Rhuarc

Lian stands atop a boulder to welcome the party. She grants leave to Rhuarc and Heirn, and humiliatingly welcomes Couladin as a beggar. She receives Rand's gift with delight, revealing her knowledge of Aiel history and Tairen craft. She invites Rand and Mat beneath her roof and serves a meal, showing motherly warmth to Rand and deep respect to Moiraine.
